1: 'These next-gen Mac Pros and pro displays “will not ship this year”. (I hope that means “next year”, but all Apple said was “not this year”.)' from https://daringfireball.net/2017/04/the_mac_pro_lives
My startup is about to launch a partnership with the Wall Street Journal that will give our users free, un-paywalled access to the WSJ site.

If you want to join our beta, which is ongoing, sign up at www.ReadAcrossTheAisle.com. The beta is free, and our app is free as well. Hopefully this is relevant/useful for folks in this thread.
Also worth pointing out that Safari has had the 'do not track' feature for years and Twitter recently announced they are going to start ignoring it (a good example of how useless it is). So this new protection is very necessary and a great USP for Safari.
We will see what it looks like when it is released. But it seems like Apple has a lot of music-oriented software tech inside this thing that companies like Anker won't be able to replicate.

The EarPods are an apt corollary. They're very expensive wireless earbuds; there are far better options for less if all you care about is sound quality. But they're sold out everywhere. The reason is because of the W1 chip and its tight integration with the Apple ecosystem.

I doubt Apple is worried about Anker.
The problem is that eventually those freeways will get clogged at rush hour unless you continually expand them, which is crazy expensive if you need to rebuild dozens of bridges etc, and suffers from the laws of diminishing returns (adding a 5th lane to a 4 lane high way does not result in a 25% capacity gain).

I'd be surprised in the long run if even Omaha isn't susceptible to this, and electric vehicles don't really do much to help this (perhaps autonomous driving may allow a small %age increase but I am highly sceptical past that).

Houston and Dallas both have fast growing light rail systems, and there is the Texas Central railway project to link the cities with high speed rail so I don't think they're a perfect example - they also have a massive wind power boom going on right now.
Organizations like WSJ should really try to market corporate level packages where specific IP ranges are cleared for free use. Keep it low enough that it does require more than a tier of approval and they could see some real money.

I am just surprised that sites don't do this already. Its par for the course with a lot of software, why not news or similar?
Apple is a hardware company. They make their money by selling computers.

(Less true these days thanks to the app store 30% top-slice, but it's in their DNA ...)

To the extent that there's demand for high-performance workstation-grade Macs, this will relieve the pressure on that market to migrate away from the increasingly aging dead-end of the current Mac Pro.

To the extent that, Moore's Law having ended, there's less incentive to upgrade regularly, having a less-expandable Pro Mac will give Apple more opportunities to entice power users to upgrade (by, for example, rolling a new iMac Pro every 18-24 months with an improved display panel or some other must-have feature: if you buy a pro machine you spend a lot of time staring at that screen, so a better display option is an obvious upgrade draw).

A Pro machine with external monitors can't force an upgrade the same way as an all-in-one machine. If they roll out a lease-purchase arrangement similar to the iPhone Upgrade Program, this could drive sign-ups, pushing power users away from buying a maxed-out tower once every five years or so towards subscribing to the new maxed-out-closed-box-every-year club.

That's probably true if you're going to be getting Xeon processors, ECC RAM, etc. But if you were to go for consumer grade hardware with similar performance, you'd probably come in at well under $5000. The cost of a 5K display is definitely something that should be considered as well, though.
The problem is that is false. Ads (and the click bait they encourage) certainly is a monetization strategy; but to suggest it's either free rubish or paywalled quality is patently false. Ignoring completely state sponsored media (NPR, BBC, etc), groups like News Deeply [0] offer proof by contradiction to your assumption.

There was an AMA on Reddit from a Foxconn employee who looks to be pretty spot on about other products:

My frustration is that the right wing has been doing this to people on the left for 70 years.

It's not OK that the left has started doing it to the right, but the people I see going on about "liberal witch hunts" and "Literally Hitler" and "This is why Trump won" I didn't see having a problem back when Jonah Goldberg wrote a bestselling book about how Hillary was "Literally Hitler", or a problem when Limbaugh/Hannity/OReilly were saying that anti-war protesters were terrorist lovers.

These people didn't have a problem when entertainers who spoke out against George W Bush were blackballed. Or when people who opposed the DOMA were accused of being anti-Christian. Or all the bullshit about Vietnam vets getting spit on (it never happened, but it's still accepted as conventional wisdom that it did.) People have gotten threatened and fired from their jobs for supporting gun control - why no outrage about that? People who are pro-choice still get accused of being baby-killers. Where's the outrage about that from the frozen peach lover community?

Being accused of being a traitor to America or to Christianity for holding leftist political beliefs has been the social norm since the 1950's in this country. I wish people would quit acting like some 13 year old liberals on Tumblr started this shit.

Thanks,

This is information that should be included in the papers because the current description is too terse. Basically you are saying that the filters used for online analysis have nothing to do with the background model, zero influence on what periods get included, etc. I'm still unclear on what exactly needed to be "restarted by hand" for the original GW150914 signal, but ok.

Do you think that with WebRTC, we will see – at last! – some Opus support? I thought it was a requirement for WebRTC, but knowing Apple stance on newish-and-patent-free codecs, it would really surprise me (in a good way).
This seems like a missed opportunity for Apple to back an open standard like WiFi Alliance TimeSync for their Sonos-like speaker synchronization and try to encourage third party participation, even if that isn't the usual Apple MO.
I don't think so, the WebM/WebP patent grant seems to only revoke the licence to use these patents when you claim that Google or someone else is infringing upon your patents by using WebM/WebP: https://www.webmproject.org/license/additional/ (IANAL)

> "If you [...] order or agree to the institution of patent litigation [...] against any entity [...] alleging that any of these implementations of WebM or any code incorporated within any of these implementations of WebM constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, [...] then any patent rights granted to you under this License for these implementations of WebM shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed."
I'm of the internal-cards over external-cables school of thought. I've been plugging circuit boards into backplanes since the S-100 bus era, and I'm very much committed to the idea of a discrete computer chassis containing all the major computing components as a distinct entity compared to the screen. I still have desktop machines because of this.
This will steer more users from a platform where you can run whatever you want (macOS) to a platform where you can run whatever Apple lets you (iOS).

And no, this is not an "Apple is evil" rant, it's simply they are making more money this way.

When I was graduating high school not long before you, it was still socially acceptable to use gay slurs. The social change happened fast, and not evenly in all places. Society needs to have some grace of we aren't too have a huge group of people bitter about being punished for breaking a new social rule. Besides that, we have a tendency to oversimplify and assume every race-related thing is racism, so I don't trust or society to police speech.

>how much you earn is based on how much value you provide

This is objectively false, and part of the myth of a meritocracy.

You make what you can manage to manipulate the system into paying you, nothing more or less. That has precious little to do with value provided many times.

It does a much better job at explaining how a CEO of a company going bankrupt can take home 7 or 8 digit bonuses, while a great teacher at a school might be struggling to make ends meet.

Of course with your explanation we can sit secure in the knowledge that there is nothing wrong with how things work, and there is justice in it, people get what they deserve right?

This is getting to the point that honestly I would rather just pay Apple for a license to OS X and buy the hardware I want. I'm sure I am in the minority, but I would shell out $600+ to legally use OS X on a Hackintosh with worrying about updates breaking the setup. I own a trashcan MacPro and Macbook Pro and just want to be able to do development on a desktop with a decent Nvidia graphics card and a laptop with at least 32G of ram.
It doesn't, you're right, and I'm not saying it does. "There is no exclusion of women or people of color in technology" is a colorable argument. It's one I think you will ultimately lose, but it's still valid. But that's not the argument they made.

(I'm ignoring the rest of your comment, since I can't map it onto anything I said or anything I'd want to respond to.)
Funny, I often hear people blame SF's high prices on geography ("it's a peninsula, there's no more room to build"). Seems LA wouldn't be geographically constrained in the same way.
Firefox, Chrome and Microsoft's relentless pushing of Internet Explorer/Edge makes it hard to survive on that OS.
Try again with an AMD Ryzen 1700/1800 8-core processor. You could build something similar for a fraction of the price.
Pixel-correct measurement of fonts / text is a must-have for certain specific applications like subtitle renderers. (I maintain one.)

For a specific example, it's more pleasing to split a long line of text in a way that all the split lines have roughly the same length - "a a a b b b" -> "a a a\nb b b". But CSS only gives you one way to split lines - as much text as possible in all but the last line and whatever's leftover in the last line - "a a a b b\nb". This means a renderer library has to be able to measure the width of text to be able to insert linebreaks itself.
Thunderbolt 3 ports are closer to PCIe 3.0 x4, not x8. Regardless it won't cause a huge performance hit depending on your workload (about 5-10% slower in gaming benchmarks). But YMMV with applications that require more bandwidth.
Android does. Google can't claim credit for Android when it likes and disown it when there are unpleasant side effects.
Wrt transactions, I don't understand why you need to send yourself the unspent BTCs. Why does it make things significantly easier?
Yeah, zoning is the real story here. Rent control, increasing the cost of most new housing so there is some affordable housing, and similar measures will just worsen the problem of a small housing supply.

If we remove modern zoning law that restricts the bulk of the city to be low density slum, LA can easily house double its population.

That might be a good strategy to locate proto-friends, but they wouldn't be strangers (depending on how much you hang out with 1st order friends...)

A deep learning bot would select strangers based on likelihood of enjoying each others company in a superficial manner along with certain deeper criteria... does deep learning bot feel you need to meet more people in your political echo chamber or meet someone far outside, assuming your religious views permit it (which of course deep learning bot knows intimately... perhaps better than you know yourself...)? Likewise hobbies, does deep learning bot feel I need to meet nature hiking buddy #9 or does deep learning bot feel I should branch out into anerobic hobbies like weight lifting or should I stick with the nature theme and meet gardening buddy #1 or ...

If you want to get ominous does deep learning bot feel I should go to bible study tonight or should I have a midlife fling and if so does deep learning bot have suggested marriage counselors that fit my wife and I or does deep learning bot think we should skip right to the AI matched divorce lawyers?

I would advise the authors of deep learning bots study centuries of astrology. Astrology is not so much bad astronomy as its ancient psychotherapy. Jupiter isn't telling you much, but a good astrologer knows all about how to cheer up someone in a deep funk over a relationship problem.
It seems strange to throw so much processing power at making it an "active" technology. Traditionally you had a professional sound engineer tune your audio system for your room. The sound drivers on my computer have that same functionality built in, I just have to setup the mic and run the wizard. These speakers have to plug into the wall, so I doubt they are going to move around very often...

We've already implemented this as part of a web-based AV1 analyzer tool. You provide the URL to both the image and the decoder, which is very convenient because the decoder is constantly changing [1].

Wikipedia also does this to enable video playback on Edge and Safari [2].

The idea to do this within the format itself is quite old. The very early versions of what became Vorbis had a very similar concept, with programmable passes. Matroska once had a field for a link to download the VfW decoder dll (the horror!). It's never really caught on, due to reasons already listed by sibling comments.

Your whole argument is predicated on the idea that what happened with the DAO was "theft".

All the publicity for the DAO explicitly said that the code was the full specification of the contract even if it disagreed with any other statements, and the code allowed someone to transfer the funds to their own child DAO. What crime, exactly, are you accusing them of committing when everyone agreed to a contract that allowed them to do what they did? How do I know using another contract won't be labeled theft and rolled back?

> Most of the market agrees with this decision.

This is exactly the problem. Ethereum would have been interesting if it could enforce unpopular decisions because they're specified in the code and them's the rules. Instead it will enforce them as long as there's not too much public outcry. No thanks.
I have to disagree. People who are passionate about a subject will report on it whether they're paid to or not. I would argue that being motivated by profit only makes you more susceptible to bias.

Upstate NYer here.

Prices are generally cheap to average, but taxes are high and the urban areas are on track to complete fiscal meltdown due to the some of the parameters around public safety contract negotiations and other factors.

In my case, my property taxes are about 3.5% of home value.

Also, the environment for commercial development is pretty bleak. If you have a job, it's an awesome place to live and work. But it's hard to get one, and mobility between employers is limited.

It's still an order of magnitude cheaper to live here than SFO and significantly less than the NY Metro or Boston Metro areas.
Really, IMHO Google "motto" boils down to "try not to be a dick". We don't always succeed (e.g. opt-in vs opt-out stuff, Real Names, etc), and employees don't always agree with what is done, but the company is too large with too many projects and too many users now not for mistakes to happen or edge cases not to be hit. Someone will always be upset with something, and so if you have some principle to guide you, at least you have something pushing back in a good direction.

I would argue that it's both a counterbalance to pure profit making decisions, but also, a pro-profit position. Sooner or later, too many user hostile decisions will lead to too much customer loss, and so trying to push back again those tendencies perhaps delays or avoids the loss.
I'd agree with you, but the 'MacBook Pro' hasn't been marketed at actual 'pros' in generations.
Yes! To reiterate: the backlash against calorie counting into not taking calories into account at all is just as damaging.

Certain foods help satiate better than others at lesser calories -- which is why some people find that eating 1500 calories of high fat and protein foods to be much easier to live with than eating 1500 carb heavy calories.

IMO, that's one of the big draw of keto. It's not that you can magically eat 5000 calories of cheese and meat and lose weight. It's that you can eat a caloric amount at a deficit and still feel energetic and full and like you didn't miss out on anything.
But what if you are the kind of person that wants to pay for good journalism? Will Google figure this out from your history, and rank WSJ higher?
I agree. As I said upthread, that's a problem.

However, I'm saying, the alternative, where treating every viewpoint that exists as worthy of inclusion, is worse.
