I don't count Google. Google is an unreliable product company. They kill half their products and the other half are absolute tire fires. You may like android, but it's ugly AF compared to iOS which is far from perfect. Gmail needs some major work on the interface. Speaking of interfaces have you seen their tv app? Kill me now.

I have no love for Google. I certainly don't trust them enough to purchase a product they make for fear of them killing it. Plus they mine everything they can get access to for who knows what ends. "So for those reasons, I'm out".

MS.... Meh. No one has come to expect great things from them.

The market will decide who wins though.
You have to consider it relative to the area's income level. I could rent 2 or 3 detached 3+ BR houses in my home town for what I pay for a 2BR in the East Bay. But, I'd never be able to make the kind of money I make here back in my hometown. If I'm lucky, I could make about 40% what I do now, with a 40 minute driving commute (because there's no public transportation, and the jobs actually in my hometown are not going to pay me anything).
To my sensibility, energy-wise, prices are cheap in exactly the wrong places where you want concentrated populations. People are rather expensive (in energy terms) to logistically serve and they are even more expensive to move around, so you want them near waterways and coasts, and more sparse in inland areas, making the inland areas serve functions that require lots of land, like food production and renewable energy production.

We should be forcing low-density development residents and business to pay their own way on infrastructure build-outs around coastal and near-waterway metropolitan areas, and increasing population densities of the urban cores to around 25-30K per square mile on average, but the way the real estate business is structurally organized in the US and so tightly interwoven into our financial structures, there are very few ways I foresee how to accomplish that without excruciatingly high residential pricing, and all those ways are very uphill wars on powerful, entrenched economic interests.
How do you plan on balancing this overly strict definition of value with a sustainable model of funding (critically necessary) investigative journalism? All this helps is the proliferation of ideology-reinforcing propaganda and clickbait. Are we going to shut out real, substantial content from the online space?

The commoditization of search can't come soon enough. Google shouldn't be able to monopolize this space.

I agree, and earlier this year I decided to subscribe to a newspaper for the first time in many, many years. I'm worried that subscribers can't stop the propaganda though.

There are so many 'news' sources nowadays, with broad national and international reach, that individuals can't possibly support all of the 'good' ones. At best they can subscribe to one or two. So all of the good sources have to compete for limited subscribers, while the bad ones are happy to give their propaganda away for free. That lets the propaganda sources flourish and multiply, until there are far more of them. They're also better at playing the attention-grabbing game, because they have none of the self-imposed limitations that the good news sources have.
We've already scaled it to 15 experts internationally, which is how we're able to offer 24x7 live advice.

It turns out there are a lot of talented dating coaches out there and we haven't had a problem finding them through various channels. It's a matter of screening, monitoring and additional training to ensure that the quality bar stays high.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_evil

> Following Google's corporate restructuring under the conglomerate Alphabet Inc. in October 2015, the motto was replaced in the Alphabet corporate code of conduct by the phrase "Do the right thing"; however, the Google code of conduct is still prefaced by the phrase "Don't be evil"

Come to think of it, those are both equally useless mottos. Most people any of us may consider evil are not evil in their own eyes. Such a motto contains nothing at all, it says even less ethically than "brush your teeth" or "introduce yourself when meeting new people".

Unless it's meant as a slight counterbalance to pure profit seeking? Yet, some people think free market agents seeking profits is the most holy and pure thing ever, with the virgin birth coming a far off second, so I'll still go with "completely useless and void of meaning" because that seems safer :P

This is about the so-called "wow signal".
Apple already announced a modular Mac Pro for next year. I doubt they would go back on that.
This is the #1 thing I was hoping for.
You're going to have to explain, since typically that phrase refers to the practice of selling user attention or data to third parties as your revenue source, which Apple does not do.
I imagine that Apple doesn't think all of their users are "Pro" or want to be lumped in a "Pro" category, nor want to use their phones for purely "Pro" purposes. I would bet good money that Apple will definitely not name their next iPhone Pro.

If you need and cares about Display Quality, the Pricing for these iMac and iMac Pro are surprisingly attractive. I have yet to see anyone deliver 21" 4K Screen at a reasonable price. And all the listed spec for iMac Display aren't simply best in the industry apart from OLED.
Apple could build a lot of things, but they don't unless there's considerable demand, and mechanical keyboards have very narrow appeal.

Matias isn't the only vendor and that's not the only model of mechanical keyboard they make. If you're a mechanical keyboard enthusiast you're living in the golden age of options. You can custom-build your own keyboard, pick individual keycaps, switches, and more.

There's vendors like http://www.wasdkeyboards.com that are basically "Build-a-Bear" for keyboards.
Many people used Google specifically to get around the newspaper's paywall. I imagine fewer people will use social media to do that. As a result, the fraction of content requests that are honest referrals would be expected to be higher.

This is an important milestone for ISRO. This launch successfully validated ISRO's homegrown CE-20[1] gas generator cycle cryogenic engine. With this, ISRO has mastered both staged combustion (CE-7.5[2]) and gas generator cycle cryogenic engine technologies.

Next up is SCE-200 RP-LOX engine[3]! There is a plan to swap GSLV Mk III's L110 hyperglic stage with SCE-200 stage, which should considerably boost payload capacity.

I can't understand first paragraph, especially "versioned" passwords. Every profile is result of generation, and you can change profile (manually or automatically) if you think it was compromised.

With OAuth you add a lot of extra code in your app. Like storing client_id client_secret and you need grant dialogs etc. Have a look at this demo (any account with web version):

https://securelogin.pw/#provider=http://facebook.com&client=..., Locations

With NO code any website could ask access to other provider. Little code on the server side needed. Granular permissions. Etc

They feel google is treating their paywalled content unfairly compared to sites that offer content for free. They want their cake and to eat it too.
"In addition to the new iMac Pro, Apple is working on a completely redesigned, next-generation Mac Pro architected for pro customers who need the highest-end, high-throughput system in a modular design, as well as a new high-end pro display."

This submission's headline left out the other part of the opening sentence

After blocking Google users from reading free articles in February, the Wall Street Journal’s subscription business soared

So their views of free folks fell while paid subscriptions rose. I would think those subscriptions would be worth it, but as the article mentions "...argue that Google’s policy is unfairly punishing them"

Personally, I would think that the subscribers would make it more worth it. Afterall, I ended up adding components on to my NYTimes subscription and often forget that I pay monthly for it because it isn't that expensive compared to, say, home Internet and such.
A few months ago Apple had a chat with several major bloggers and they specifically said that the Mac Pro wasn't going anywhere, they were redoing it from scratch.
The TLDR is that the GPU workloads didn't materialise the way they thought they would so 2x slightly less powerful GPUs doesn't measure up to a single beefier GPU, and the trash can design really limited them on thermal design, which is why updates on that design stalled.

Given that limitation, they decided to redesign the whole thing again, targeting a 2018 release, and they mentioned they were introducing a workstation-grade iMac in the meanwhile. So this seems like it would be _that_ machine.
Also the device ships in 6 months. Probably they don't want to give out all details in advance.

Quite sure this will eventually open up for developers, but I'm not sure how to provide a smooth user experience. Like how to handle the case when multiple apps would like to react to same voice command.
You mean like a Surface Pro? No, I don't think so.
Any to recommend?
The idea that we should trust entire fields of experts just because they are the experts is flawed.

I was in the irc room during that time. It was the number batted around by ethdevs in freenode #ethereum.

Regardless, the very people who build the protocol, application stack, and seed blockchain machines were also the ones who had massive stockpiles of eth from the auction... You do remember the auction, right?

They had absolute fiduciary reason to undo their losses.

Edit: And in all honesty, this would be compute-expensive, but the nature of the blockchain would be able to tell how much ethcoin came from before the auction rather easily. After all, a blockchain is just a append-only distributed ledger. Well, we did know the transactions, but you'd likely have to go to Ethereum Classic and replay what addresses put money in.
Actually, it's not missing. From the article:

The Journal’s ad revenue wasn’t affected by its recent drop in Google traffic because social media visits grew 34 percent in that time, keeping overall web traffic flat, Watford said. The Journal lets readers get some articles for free via social media like Twitter and Facebook, which the paper views as a marketing tool.

The increased size of the 12.9" iPad Pro represented a ~33% departure from the standard 9.7" iPad size.

If we extrapolate from the iPhone 7 Plus's 5.5" screen size, we can conclude that the iPhone Pro will be the first smartphone to feature a 7.3" screen.
Just shared this with a friend who could use some help in this dept.

I think with products like this, the first instinct is to play up the potential "ick" factor, or to view it as Silicon Valley enabling the idea of privileged people looking at prospective dating partners like objects instead of people. However, I'm really for these services! I think they're fun, and they can really help people who for whatever reason have issues with social interaction.

We don't berate people who get help with diet and exercise (or who try and automate it), so why throw shade on people who get help with how to talk to prospective partners. From years of online dating, I can attest that changing up your approach and trying new things is exactly what gets you some success.

I wish all people were more open and empathetic online, but the truth is some people (yes, mostly women) are absolutely bombarded with messages that are at best emotionally vacant and at worst misogynistic, and that shuts down openness. Try going on a ladies OKCupid for a bit, you'll see how bad it is. Anything that can help set you apart from those messages, and elevate your conversation is in my view a good thing.

As long as they don't get weird and pickup-artisty about it down the line. :-)
Actually having a higher percentage of mass for your propellant (fuel and oxidiser) compared to your total mass (minus payload which can vary flight to flight) is a good thing; it means you can deliver more mass to orbit. [0] Conversely the more mass you use to build your rocket the less mass you can deliver to orbit. For the F9FT the propellant mass fraction is 92.43% (507.5/549), and for the GSLV-III it is 86.56% (544/640). [1][2] If the GSLV-III had the same PMF as the F9FT its dry weight would drop from 86 tons to 45.5 tons. Then it would probably be able to deliver 25 to 26 tons to LEO, an increase of 2.5 times.

I'm sure the ISRO will improve the mass fraction over time. It should be noted however that the F9 with all its single core iterations have been within 1% of each other propellant mass fraction wise.

This has been the case for several years now on iPad spec pages.
It's going to take five years of ~ yearly hardware refreshes of all product lines for me to believe that Apple still knows how to be a computer company.

I think once they've refreshed all the product lines in the current cycle - which is a response to a screaming customer base, Apple will wipe its brow and say "phew that was hard dealing with all those customer demands", and get back to refreshes every five years.

Apple just no longer has the same DNA as all those Chinese hardware manufacturers who blitz new products in constantly.
I'm just arguing that lacking an alternative to silicon transistors, we'll hit limits in die stacking and architecture optimizations that will make < 3nm lucrative for some applications.
Google maps/earth has had a big, positive impact on my life. I have found it both useful in both personal and professional. personal is obvious, i know where things are now.

When building a tool that mapped 1 hour trauma access, google maps and earth were very useful for verifying locations of trauma centers and helipads.

it was also useful in building a tool to find candidate facilities to upgrade to dedicated stroke centers

I'm super excited about Vive and general VR support for Macs. My interest in VR is not airplane mechanics, gaming, or anything of that sort. I'm just interested in the VR experience. Conceivably, there'll be many VR documentaries, VR puzzles, etc. as there already are. To see that I can buy a Mac and not be locked out of the VR revolution is a relief.
Historically speaking, an Apple executive acknowledging that a product or concept they haven't yet embraced as "having a place" is actually very nearly an endorsement of it.

> That would break the Internet in a large variety of horrible ways

Scare talk aside, no, it wouldn't. In most cases people would be unaffected; at worst people've dealt with broken links before and will continue to do so. It would only truly "break" anything for early adopters who dove in without thinking, and knew the risks of doing so.

Consider how much more common this would be if wireless ISPs added more reasonable options for adding additional devices to your plan. More devices which would eat through your crazy low transfer cap more quickly...which they currently charge you quite a bit to tack on.
This isn't necessarily true. We don't have a system where a wide variety of viable candidates all get equal representation, since their representation is mostly controlled by for-profit businesses.

We end up with 2 imperfect candidates and if it is your duty to choose one and see to it that they win versus the other option, you might donate some money. An individual might donate for a pet cause that's important to them even if they disagree with other things. A company might donate, because it is actually going to help their business and they have a duty to their shareholders to increase profit.

You say it's not complicated as if the issue is settled and final, but there is a lot more subtlety to this topic.

There were enough issues with Hillary as a candidate that she deserved to lose regardless of whether the republican candidate was a controversial figure like Trump or not. For that reason, I expect many people donated to Trump as a way to avoid Hillary.
I'm not who you replied to, but I was genuinely curious too. This is the best evidence I can find [0][1]... It looks like it probably did negatively impact Forbes (and other websites that have blocked adblockers).

But if they're sticking with that behavior, maybe it's not so bad? I also saw that their physical magazine readership is up (while other competing magazines are down or flat).

Kind of presuming the wrong thing there. There's still work to be done, right? Just because something would make the job easier does not mean it should be done, ethics come first.

Honestly, I have no clue why I got downvoted. I was genuinely asking. People keep talking about the VR Apple computer.
I totally agree. People are more likely to pay to read the news they are biased to. So all forms of media have a high incentive to bias their content towards their consumer's point of view.
It's true, and I love my HHKB2. But I'd love it more if Apple made it because its plastic enclosure leaves a lot to be desired.
I fear that this is the future of the country: vast majority of the people barely getting by, and a very small minority leading cushy lives. I see more and more people living in RVs, just making ends meet. On the other hand, if you're in the right line of work and in the right place, you're making out like a bandit. I've seen 25-year-olds making in high 6-digits, and 72-year-olds collecting shopping carts at the local grocery store.

I have a feeling of dread about an upcoming large-scale social upheaval, but I can't quite put my finger on it. I think Trump's election is a symptom of the trying times we live in.
